Is this what the 2013 Boss 302 will look like?

A one-off 2012 Boss 302 Laguna Seca is going up for auction next month. It will be painted in "School Bus Yellow" (a 2013 color) and if the rendering is correct, it will have graphics similar to what will be on the 2013 model:

Probably pretty darn close. I'm hoping they offer the HID package for the Boss for the 2013 model. I see they have the lower front fascia panted the car color, changed up the rims and have a different spoiler. Pretty interesting design. Not a fan of the color though.

Those wheels look so much better without the black on them.

What's up with the front spoiler, did they forget to install the LS splitter?

The wheels do look nice polished.

Although I love the '70 decal scheme better, I don't know if I like it with the power bulge hood on the current cars. The yellow looks good I think and other than grabber blue is the quintessential Boss 302 color IMO.

Maybe they aren't doing an LS style splitter due to the restyling of the front fascia? I hope I'm wrong because the LS splitter is sick.

I also agree about the wheels. They look much better polished.

Still not sold on the School Bus Yellow paint job.

That's a 2012 and it has the same front fascia. They must be trying to make it look more like PJ's car but I bet the LS splitter comes with it along with all the other LS pieces.

Sure doesn't look like "school bus yellow" to me. More like Yellow Blaze. Much improved wheels over the black MiniLites. Still, a nice looking car though!

As of a couple of days ago Ford is about 2/3's of the way through the 3,250 2012 MY build. There has been over 500 of the 750 Laguna Seca's built. I think they're a bit ahead of schedule.

Great info Rick. Thanks for posting. Clears up some unsubstantiated rumors.

Completely disagree! They'd look better without the bare aluminum at the outer edge though. Why polished when NOTHING is polished or chrome on the exterior?
